Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Schedule of Fair Value of Assets
Fair values of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are shown in the following tables. Where applicable, the tables also indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine those fair values. For some assets, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When this is the case, the asset is categorized based on the level of the most significant input to the fair value measurement. Assessments of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement require judgment and consideration of factors specific to the assets being valued. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2025 report on Form 10-K for a summary description of the valuation methodologies used regarding securities in the Level 2 and Level 3 categories, by security type.

Below is additional information regarding each of the investments listed in the table above as of March 31, 2026.
(1)This investment is comprised of one LP fund that is structured to provide interest distributions primarily through diversified portfolios of private debt instruments. The LP allows redemptions by special consent. Income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over an anticipated time frame that spans from three to eight years.
(2)This investment is comprised of interests in multiple unrelated LP funds, each structured to provide capital appreciation through diversified investments in private equity, which can include investments in buyout, venture capital, debt including senior, second lien and mezzanine, distressed debt, collateralized loan obligations and other private equity-oriented LPs. Two of the LPs allow redemption by terms set forth in the LP agreements; the others do not permit redemption. Income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over time frames that are anticipated to span up to ten years.
(3)This investment is comprised of multiple unrelated LP funds. Three funds seek to obtain superior risk-adjusted absolute returns through a diversified portfolio of debt securities, including bonds, loans and other asset-backed instruments. The remaining funds focus on private middle market company mezzanine and senior secured loans, opportunities across the credit spectrum, mortgage backed-loans, as well as various types of loan-backed investments. One fund allows redemptions at any quarter-end with prior notice requirements of 180 days, while two other funds allow for redemptions with consent of the General Partner. The remaining funds do not allow redemptions. For the funds that do not allow redemptions, income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over time frames throughout the remaining life of the funds.
(4)This investment is comprised of multiple unrelated LPs/LLCs funds. One fund is an LLC focused on investing in North American consumer products companies, comprised of equity and equity-related securities, as well as debt instruments. A second fund is focused on aircraft investments, along with components and assets related to aircraft. A third fund is an LLC focused on acquiring ownership stakes in insurance agencies. For all three funds, redemptions are not permitted. The remaining funds are real estate focused LPs, three of which allow for redemption with prior notice.
